Red yeast rice

Red yeast rice, also known as Xuezhikang or Red Koji, is a variant of rice obtained through fermentation with the Monascus purpureus yeast. It's important not to confuse this with the red rice often served in Thai restaurants. During the fermentation process, the rice grains acquire a deep red colour, thanks to the presence of the yeast.
